A new post reportedly spotted on the r\/AndroidAuto subreddit seems to confirm that split-screen features are now rolling out to Android Auto. The feature is somewhat limited in its current capacity, based on responses and further comments on the matter. But that does mean that at least some users will now be able to run two apps at once.
\nHow does Android Auto work in split-screen view?
\nPut simply, the incoming change appears to simply split the screen between two apps running simultaneously. That split isn’t even though and, as of this writing, there’s no way to run a single screen app on its own once it’s enabled. Users are forced to run two apps at once and with one screen filling more of the display area. So the feature likely isn’t finalized just yet.
\nWith that said, users can select a primary app and have a second app running in a smaller segment. Although there’s reportedly no way to easily swap out which app takes up the larger segment either right now.
\nThis will only apparently work with wider head units
\nNow, for those who may be wondering about the requirements for split-screen Android Auto, that appears to be fairly straightforward. Namely, it depends on the size of the screen in a given Android head unit. And that comes down to the way the apps are split between the two screens.
\nThe new feature specifically splits with a 70-to-30 ratio rather than directly in half. That means that there’s a primary app \u2014 such as navigation \u2014 filling most of the display. And another app, such as music, Assistant, or a hands-free call, will fill the smaller portion \u2014 30-percent of the display. Users are only reporting the new feature, apparently as a result of that, on displays at above 7-inches.
\nSince Google hasn’t officially announced the new feature, that may not remain the case indefinitely for its automotive-first solution. Especially if it wants to compete with its top competitors’ latest offerings.<\/p>\n
